Could you please share the "shelf life" expectancy? Guessing 1-2 weeks due to the cream? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt’s my picture that I posted on Canning Rebels. I don’t appreciate someone taking the time to steal my photo and then paste it onto their website and make money off it if.
DeleteOnce you put it on the internet..kinda belongs to everybody in the world...
ReplyDeleteThat isn't true, by law it is theft of property. Commenter above can actually copyright that photo and have it taken down. Personally I am saddened to read that a blogger has once again stolen someone else's photo and used it without permission.
DeleteBigger issues in the world to worry about a picture. Geez.....
DeleteWhat can I add if I do not want alcohol in it?
ReplyDeleteWhisky is the main part of the recipe,.. it's just cream with sugar. That's a little like saying "how do I make roast turkey, without adding the turkey.
DeleteYou could experiment and try flavourings used for baking. Eg rum essence. Has the flavour without the alcohol. 💖
Deletemakes a tasty coffee creamer, I add a tablespoon of espresso powder
DeleteHow many bottles like that will this recipe make?
ReplyDeleteBy calculating the ingredients it would be just over 900mls
DeleteAnd how are they making money off it? I'm going to tell u a little secret. Watermark ALL ur photos. Do it all over the photo so ppl can steal ur photos but ppl will know where the photos have come from.
ReplyDeleteI’m so curious about why someone would want to eliminate the alcohol from this recipe. It’s Bailey’s after all.
ReplyDeleteThis!
DeleteThat is not how the internet works. Posting original content online does NOT mean it belongs to the public. It's copyrighted by the creator.
ReplyDeleteChill, big girl. They are right watermark your pics or Shut it cupcake.
ReplyDeleteGet a grip ffs..probably not even your photo.. Scamming twonk
ReplyDeleteGood lord get over it, the picture isn't a work of art. It's a basic looking picture. Congratulations on being average
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of whisky. What other alcohol could I use?
ReplyDeleteI loved the Bailys Strawberry and Cream. any ideas how I would make it? Thanks
ReplyDeleteI bet you could just substitute the cocoa powder for Strawberry Nesquik
DeleteBailey's is a registered Trade Mark. Best not call it Bailey's since they do have the little "TM" next to their name! Love the egos.... reminds me of the kids arguing in the back seat...
ReplyDelete"mine! no mine! MAAAAAAAA. tell him it's mine."
I just wish someone would answer the question of freshness date. Really? Just arguing like kids.
ReplyDeleteWithin 2 weeks or less
DeleteI agree re the pic. Really not that hard to ask permission. As it obviously upset the photo owner an apology should have been forthcoming rather than rudeness.
ReplyDeleteThe owner is also correct in just because it is in a public place does not mean you can help yourself. Theft has many forms...
I agree that this is theft unless the owner of the photo gives permission. I am an artist and have had photos stolen online. It's wrong. It doesn't matter if it's on the internet, it's still copyright theft. I hope the owner of this website has the integrity to remove the photo. I will never understand the level of rudeness that people seem to think is acceptable .
DeleteDoes it have to be refrigerated after it's ready? Can I give as a gift at room temp, and keep my own at room temp?
ReplyDeleteYes, it does have to be kept refrigerated.
DeleteIf a photo gets “stolen” numerous times how would one know where it originally came from without a watermark? Who would they ask? If I used it, I would ask this person not knowing it was yours originally
ReplyDeleteWhat brand and/or type of whiskey is best in this recipe?
ReplyDeleteBy cocoa, do you mean cocoa like Nestles Quick that is sweetened or the unsweetened type you bake with?
ReplyDeleteHello can you tell me is it scotch whisky or rye?
ReplyDeleteLike would dewars white label work in this recipe? Thank you in advance.
